COMCAST INTERNET ESSENTIALS - GOOD NEWS!

Bright Minds wants to help spread the word about a program Comcast has implemented to help low to moderate income families purchase monthly broadband service at $9.95 per month, called Internet Essentials. Families can review the information at this link to see if they are eligible. Recently, an update has occurred that will allow families with a child attending a school with 40% or more students enrolled in Free and Reduced Meals (FARMs) to be automatically pre-approved for Internet Essentials. A letter with this information is going out to each principal of these schools identified by the Maryland Department of Education. Elementary school students will get a print copy to take home and middle and high school principals will be asked to post the letter on their web pages.
